Morning Wrap: FSU Holds off GaTech to Stay Undfeated

((ht: espn.com))

Raise your hand if you are fan of going undefeated in College Football. Question: Does that entitle you to a playoff berth and/or a #1 ranking.

In our minds--yes, it does.

Florida State has a legitimate claim as they held off a game Georgia Tech squad in the ACC Championship game Saturday night 37-35.

The win ran FSU's record to 13-0 on the season. The Seminoles haven't lost a game in over two years and are the only undefeated FBS team in the land.

Jameis Winston threw for 309 yards and 3 TD's and RB Dalvin Cook added 177 yards running on 31 carries to lead the Seminoles to the win.

Tech fought hard, Synjyn Days ran for 3 scores and a late TD with 1:47 left, gaving Tech one last shot at winning. But FSU recovered the onside kick and Cook got a first down with less than 1 minute left in the game and FSU was able to run out the clock.

Yes, the win locks up a College Football playoff berth for Florida State and it should. The only questions remaining for them is who they will be playing, when and where.

Morning Wrap: FSU Rallies Against Miami; Stays Undefeated

((ht: espn.com))

We will say this about the Florida State Seminoles; they ain't pretty, but they keep winning.

FSU scored the go-ahead TD with just over 3 minutes left in the game Saturday night vs. Miami, saving their undefeated season and winning the game 30-26.

The 26-yard game winning run by Running Back Dalvin Cook capped a furious rally that continued a pattern where the 'Noles fall behind in the 1st half, only to right the ship and rally, coming back for the win.

Jameis Winston threw for 304 yards and a TD, Cook had 92 rushing yards and scored twice for the 10-0, 7-0 in the ACC. For the Hurricanes, Duke Johnson ran for 130 yards and a score. Miami drops to 6-4, 3-3 in the ACC.

The path to the playoffs continues getting wider and wider for Florida State as the other undefeated teams continue to fall while the Noles keep coming back and winning. The final two games of the season for FSU are both easily winnable. And while not garnering lots of respect among the College Football Experts, FSU is an early lock for the CFB Playoff.
